- New Orleans Saints wide receiver Willie Snead has been suspended for the first three games of the season due to an offseason DUI arrest as reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN.
- Though some expected Snead to be the number two in New Orleans, Ted Ginn was playing in two wide receiver sets, which the Saints ran 54 percent of the time in the preseason. Snead’s 84.1 overall grade ranked 16th in the NFL among wide receivers and Snead’s 79.6 run blocking grade was tied for the highest among wide receivers with Larry Fitzgerald of the Cardinals.
- Snead has made his living mostly from the slot in his career, his 1.89 yards per route run from the slot ranked ninth in the league among wide receivers and was a career high.
